Abstract
This is a preliminary report on a novel liquid-liquid parti tioning chromatography method for the purification of recombinant protein, uridine phosphorylase (UrdPase). This system utilizes an aqueous two-phase solvent system, consisting of polyethylene glycol and phosphate buffer, with a newly developed high-speed countercurrent centrifuge (X-axis, XLL type). The system is capable of purifying crude recombinant UrdPase in an efficient manner.
